We performed a comparison between Cassandra and Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's database capabilities are very good."
"I am satisfied with the performance."
"Our primary use case for the solution is testing."
"The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level."
"The technical evaluation is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use."
"Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover."
"Cassandra has some features that are more useful for specific use cases where you have time series where you have huge amounts of writes. That should be quick, but not specifically the reads. We needed to have quicker reads and writes and this is why we are using Cassandra right now."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"CDH has a wide variety of proprietary tools that we use, like Impala. So from that perspective, it's quite useful as opposed to something open-source. We get a lot of value from Cloudera's proprietary tools."
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions."
"It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes."
"Doesn't support a solution that can give aggregation."
"Cassandra could be more user-friendly like MongoDB."
"There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly."
"Interface is not user friendly."
"The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved."
"There were challenges with the query language and the development interface. The query language, in particular, could be improved for better optimization. These challenges were encountered while using the Java SDK."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."
"The pricing needs to improve."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
